Best Shoes for Walking on Concrete

We’ve all heard the song “The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone. The leg bone’s connected to the knee bone…” And it’s true! The study of biomechanics has proven that everything is interconnected, and when there’s a misalignment in one part of the body, it can travel up your body and affect other areas. What causes this misalignment? Prolonged periods of standing or walking on concrete can cause the foot to over-pronate, resulting in the ankle rolling inwards and the arch collapsing. That’s why it’s so important to wear the best shoes for walking on concrete when you’re constantly traveling on hard surfaces.

Two important features to look for in the best shoes for standing on concrete all day are arch support – to help align your feet – and cushioning, especially in the heel, for shock absorption. The Orthaheel Technology® in Vionic Shoes was developed specifically to address this problem of walking and standing on flat surfaces by helping to restore the foot’s natural arch and align the body from the ground up. Here are our picks for the best shoes for standing on concrete all day:
